Pine View Residence

Private Residence • Engomi, Nicosia, Cyprus


Completed • 2024

Quick Facts

Overview

Challenge

Steep plot and large south-facing openings required a structure that controlled deflection, delivered seismic performance, and met Energy Class A within a tight budget and timeline.

Solution

Hybrid RC frame with strategically placed shear walls and long-span slabs. Steel canopies limit solar gain with slim profiles. Thermally broken glazing, inverted roof insulation, and PV pre-wiring enable Class A efficiency. Detailing follows Eurocode 8.

Scope of Work

  • Site analysis & concept structuring
  • Structural design (RC & steel)
  • Coordination with architect and MEP
  • Permit documentation & calculations
  • Construction supervision & QA
  • As-built documentation and handover
